Load taken by Bolts Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Load taken by Bolts?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
FBolt=(π4)(db2(nft))
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
FBolt=(π4)(900mm2(355N/mm²))
Next Step Substitute values of Constants
FBolt=(3.14164)(900mm2(355N/mm²))
Next Step Convert Units
FBolt=(3.14164)(0.9m2(355N/mm²))
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
FBolt=(3.14164)(0.92(355))
Next Step Evaluate
FBolt=104.968464538069N
LAST Step Rounding Answer
FBolt=104.9685N

Variables
Constants
Load by Bolt
Load by Bolt is the term applied when some form of spring energization is included in the bolting system.
Symbol: FBolt
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Bolt Diameter
Bolt diameter measure the distance from the outer thread on one side to the outer thread on the other side. This is called the major diameter and will usually be the proper size of the bolt.
Symbol: db
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Number of Bolts
Number of Bolts is simply defined as the number of bolts that are under our consideration.
Symbol: n
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Allowable Stress in Stud Material
Allowable Stress in Stud Material is defined as the material failure stress (a property of the material) divided by a factor of safety greater than one.
Symbol: ft
Measurement: StressUnit: N/mm²
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Archimedes' constant
Archimedes' constant is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
Symbol: π
Value: 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

How to Evaluate Load taken by Bolts?

Load taken by Bolts evaluator uses Load by Bolt = (pi/4)*(Bolt Diameter^(2)*(Number of Bolts*Allowable Stress in Stud Material)) to evaluate the Load by Bolt, The Load taken by Bolts formula is definedthe compression produced by the tightening of a nut against a bolt. The amount of weight that is placed on a bolt is, naturally, limited to how much it is capable of withstanding before coming apart. Load by Bolt is denoted by FBolt symbol.

How to evaluate Load taken by Bolts using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Load taken by Bolts, enter Bolt Diameter (db), Number of Bolts (n) & Allowable Stress in Stud Material (ft) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Load taken by Bolts
